I know this has been asked before but I'm still struggling on solving this issue. When I load projects into eclipse I get the following exception:
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.7:run (execution: generate-webapp-name, phase: compile)
My maven project consists of many modules (>200) and it causes problems on all of them.
I tried ignoring the run
and compile
goals in my pom.xml
(in the parent module):
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
<artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<configuration>
<lifecycleMappingMetadata>
<pluginExecutions>
<pluginExecution>
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<versionRange>[1.7,)</versionRange>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<ignore/>
</action>
</pluginExecution>
</pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
But it still doesn't work.
You have to specify that the goal that you set for your maven-antrun-plugin (in my case, run
) should be executed. For anyone that get to this page, add this code before the plugins
tag:
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<!--This plugin's configuration is used to store Eclipse m2e settings only. It has no influence on the Maven build itself. -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
<artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<configuration>
<lifecycleMappingMetadata>
<pluginExecutions>
<pluginExecution>
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<versionRange>[1.7,)</versionRange>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<execute />
</action>
</pluginExecution>
</pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>

For what is worth, I'm using a very simple ant code. The plugin code I'm using is this one below. I used the deploy
phase, but you can use another one if you want
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.8</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>antrun.package</id>
<phase>deploy</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<target>
<mkdir dir="${destinationBasePath}/WEB-INF/classes"/>
<copy todir="${destinationBasePath}\WEB-INF\classes">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/target/classes" includes="**" />
</copy>
</target>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
